I have never been to Japan...
...and slowly I suspect that I don't want to go there either - at least not in terms of fragrance.
The Miyake scents are all too "bright," too green-white, to put it in terms of color.
And then came M.M. - I'll shorten it. I tested "Shiro," then "mat," and now this one - I don't want to give up that quickly.
But: Again and again the same scent perception: Too bright, too clean, too "pure." Not unpleasant at all, but as a perfume, it's not accessible to me.
These scents pass by so quickly that I can't grasp them clearly.
I find them very "uninformative," a hint of something light, whoosh - and then only to be smelled with my nose on my arm. Not for me!
Too noncommittal, like the Japanese courtly manner - for me.
"Art Mosaic" really smells very quickly, for me, like mango - whether Mallika (what is that?) or other mango, that's irrelevant to me. I can't/don't want to nuance it that finely.
I love eating mango, I enjoy cooking with mango - I don't like smelling like mango.
No, unfortunately again not a M.M. scent that I want/would wear, too noncommittal-light-fruity.
Well, I just have to live with the fact that Japan is not a fragrance experience country for me to explore.
P.S. I believe the Japanese wouldn't like me anyway - I'm much too direct and committed and can't always smile and love dark and bold scents, LoL.
